Buying land for a house, please advise!

Hello ypg,

Bauexperte will not warn himself

I'll ask the admin; maybe he has a suitable tool at hand

Rhenish greetings

That reminds me of a child's reaction when it got caught

Well, I think it sounds more embarrassing:

I am a saleswoman myself and have been for a long time – this is publicly verifiable here; I always go with an open visor. Because I have been working in this job for many years, ...

What exactly is your job?

You’re quite pissed off, aren’t you?

I couldn’t care less. You should come to our skat club sometime, you could learn something there.

Imagine, even FH providers calculate strictly based on the buildable area; if this area gets bigger, it also gets more expensive. The moment you decided on a MH, you also mentally bought the thicker walls. So where is your problem?

Yeah, am I crazy? Complete agreement. Then we just talked past each other.

If your previous statement is not about size, then what is it about?

Please think along – okay, that’s already hard for me – but it was about why I didn’t decide on it. There are other reasons. For example, because we imagine that you can more easily remodel or add on a solid house. But there were other reasons too.

Or maybe it’s just me, or that I’m naturally blonde

Seriously?

From my experience, I would also like to add, even though it no longer really fits the original topic here:

@der Björn: yes, it is sometimes important how much area the walls take up: we have a plot of 650 sqm, a floor area ratio of 0.2, so you can build over an area of 135 sqm. That is not exactly easy with a bungalow if you are used to spaciousness. I once had a nice Brave-Bungalow, scaled down, calculated by a prefab house manufacturer that sounds Danish but actually comes from the Eastern Bloc. And I really got virtual claustrophobia. Now we are building one and a half stories, which of course is a bit more relaxed.

But now let's come to the wall thickness: this prefab house manufacturer had exterior walls (Energy Saving Ordinance 2009) of 32 cm... + - 0.5 (I don't remember exactly, but around that)... now we are building solid with 17.5 + 14 cm insulation (KfW70)... I don't see a big difference now. Voilà!

@YPG:

I wrote: "That the property becomes too small happens only very very rarely."

"only happens very rarely" does not mean "never happens"...

If your house stands out in relation to the neighboring houses, this can become very problematic. Also, the distances to the neighboring houses can cause quite significant problems

In what way is this supposed to become problematic? I have informed myself at the city offices etc. in the past few days. We have to maintain a distance of 3 meters from the neighbor and adapt the design to the neighboring houses. There is enough space. The other side of the property is not built on anyway and therefore not really of interest. On the street, there are all kinds of building types from town villas to semi-detached houses, single-family and multi-family houses.
